Book Reading Shit

Post by **TTTPPP** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 12:41 am

Currently reading "The Oxford English Dictionary". I think I missed something in chapter A though because I don't really understand the plot.

I never would have figured nuero to be the literary type. Anyway I don't read much fiction, but when I do it's usually a book by Banana Yoshimoto. The latest one that I've read is "Gold Rush" by Miri Yu.

Also Oof when I was looking at old threads I saw your post that said that you had a dream where a worm-like thing was thrown into a bowl of creamy white crap and afterwards you made a game out of it. I laughed pretty hard. Can anyone point me towards a copy?

Actually nuero is a pretty smart guy, he just doesn't care enough to show it in his posts. :/

Me, on the other hand, I might look prety intelligent, but I'm really not. :o

YOU are the mistake here.

I love it when you ONE-TWO STEP!

This 'Animal Farm' book is only about animals, as 'Lord of the Flies' is only about boys on an island.

I'll probably finish this tonight because it's SO FUCKING SHORT but I didn't read all week-end.

Revvy, how's Closing Time, since Catch-22 is incredible?

My favourite part of Catch-22 is still probably when Dr. Daneeka gets Yossarian to pretend he's a family's dying son.

"His name's not Harvey, it's Yossarian."

I'm going to read Closing Time when I can find a copy at the library that's not fucking missing from the shelves. There's been about 3 so far.

Ando, that is Paper Wisdom and I've totally been meaning to send it, but I was always too lazy or drugged and now I am far away from it (keepin' it real at spring break). I promise I will send it next week. Remind me if I forget.

I finished Animal Farm.

I'm starting On the Road by Jack Kerouac.

After that, not necessaily in this order, I'm reading I, Robot by Isaac Asimov, Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut, The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Dune Messiah by Frank Herbest, Revelation Space by Alistair Reynolds, and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

And maybe some more shit in if I think of it.

And I plan to re-read Choke by Chuck Paluhniuk, Jennifer Government by Max Barry, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams sometime before the movie comes out, so it's fresh as a motherfucker in my mind.

And at some point, Les Miserables.

America (The Book) isn't exactly fine literature but it's fucking hilarious.

I read that sometime late last year. It rules.

As much a fan I am of amphetimenes, On the Road is a speed induced rambling piece of crap, in literary terms of course. As books go it's better than a lot of the shit out there of course.

The Town and the Country is better.
